I have a question about how linux deals with memory and swap space. My
company develops engineering apps for mainly unix platforms and we
recently started work on porting our software to linux. One of these
programs is a kinda of modeler that can be relinked depending on the
size of model you want to work with. Fairly often we work with "X"
million cell models that require a whole lot of ram. Most of the
machines we have have at least 2GB of ram and about 4GB of swap. We
have a dual processor PII 450 machine with 1GB ram and 2.5GB of swap.
It seems that whenever we try to go beyond a model that requires 1GB of
memory we get a segementation fault. Is there a limit of some sort? I
know there is a 8MB stack limit but that is not the problem. We are
using suse6.0 with gcc and absoft fortran and a 2.2.2 kernel. Could
someone point me in the right direction to find out more information?
Thanks
Drew
